In addition to that, here's the REAL story and the media - won't tell you. The oil companies Posted: Jul 6th, 2020 - 12:36 pm In Reply to: Find out who these “tribes” are, strip them of their gaming - rights and cut off their electricity
used to transport oil through the Indian lands over the road, in oil trucks. They paid the Indians PER BARREL, for ‘wear and tear’ on their roads and right of way.. etc.
The oil companies figured they could transport a lot more oil through a pipeline, much cheaper. They wanted to negotiate a deal to build the pipeline thought the Indian territory.
The Indians wanted the SAME amount of money, PER BARREL, which would have been a huge increase in cost to the oil companies, even thought they were not traveling over the road anymore.
So, the oil companies moved the proposed pipeline off of the reservation.
The Indians STILL DEMANDED PAYMENT per barrel of oil, even though the oil would not even be going through their reservation anymore.
The oil companies told them to F-off.
The Indians went to the BO administration and said the oil companies were putting a pipeline over their Indian burial grounds. Even though there were already existing pipelines along essentially the same route.
BO agreed and stopped them.
The Indians have what amounts to a sovereign nation, within our borders. But they have incredibly stupid financial advisors.
